The UK’s Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, recently made headlines by launching an Immigration White Paper that aims to reduce UK immigration further, link training domestic workers to recruiting from abroad, and reduce work immigration for all but the most highly skilled candidates.
We will discuss what employers who may need to bring talent to the UK can do to prepare for and mitigate the changes outlined in the white paper.
Our speakers will discuss and provide solutions to the main changes affecting employers, including:
- The skill level requirement for sponsoring Skilled Workers from abroad is increasing, and 111 jobs will no longer qualify
- Those already on the Skilled Worker route may still extend visas, change employer and take supplementary employment
- Some jobs that no longer qualify as Skilled Workers may qualify for a new ‘Temporary Shortage List’, but this is limited in scope
- Changes planned for minimum salary thresholds and the Immigration Skills Charge
- Five-year route to settlement is set to double, though there will be swifter ‘earned’ routes to settlement and citizenship
Our speakers will cover:
- How HR teams should forward plan
- What employers can do to reassure their workforce
- Who will be affected
- How recruiters may want to adapt hiring strategies
- Ways employers can mitigate these changes and save money
- Keeping up with compliance in the face of increasing penalties and sanctions
- Lobbying and workforce strategies necessary to protect businesses and their sectors
